Yes, you are correct that whales are mammals, not fish...

Quote:

Mammals that live in the water, such as whales, porpoises, dolphins, stayed in the water during the Flood. Fish, shell fish, and other "sea creatures" stayed in the water during the Flood.

Dinosaurs? There're some of dinosaurs who live under the water. What about them?

Same for them as fish and mammals that live in the water.

A very recent example that scientists are constantly changing their theories about dinosaurs:

Quote:

Dinosaurs May Have Eaten Grass
By LAURAN NEERGAARD, Associated Press Writer
Thu Nov 17, 5:24 PM ET

... A new discovery debunks the theory that grasses didn't emerge until long after the dinosaurs died off...

Quote:

... grasses must have originated considerably earlier, well over 80 million years ago, for such a wide variety to have evolved and spread to the Indian subcontinent in time to be munched by sauropods, they concluded.

Or, dinosaurs were actually created later than scientists thought, and the grass varieties were already there for them to eat.

Quote:

"These remarkable results will force reconsideration of many long-standing assumptions" about dinosaur ecology, wrote Dolores Piperno and Hans-Dieter Sues of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in an accompanying review.

Beyond the great curiosity about dinosaur life, the discovery has implications about the coevolution of this huge plant family — there are about 10,000 separate grass species — with other plant-eaters, Piperno explained.

Sure, they change their theories about dinosaurs because of new discoveries. It would be silly to ignore new discoveries because they could tell us things we didn't know before, like there being grass by 80 million years ago. They found that from looking at dinosaur dung. Because the teeth of the big plant eating dinosaurs don't seem to be good for eating grass, they think that it may not have been the main food. They mentioned an early mammal they found with teeth that could handle grass.
The last dinosaurs we've found were from 65 million years ago, so there was grass during the last 15 million years of the dinosaurs' time. The earliest ones we have found are from about 230 million years ago. So the dinosaurs lasted for about 165 million years. If there was grass for the last 15 million years of the dinosaurs' existence, then there was grass for only about nine percent of the dinosaurs' existence.
The plants that were around before dinosaurs included ferns, conifers, ginkgo trees, which has fossils from 270 million years ago, horsetails, which had reached heights of 30m tall, and the now extinct seed ferns, which disappeared by the end of the Triassic. Flowering plants developed during the Jurassic and diversified during the Cretaceous. So there was plenty of food for plant eating dinosaurs before grasses developed.

Found this awesome website about dinosaurs. http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/139.asp

Shows that dinosaurs certainly did roam the Earth back in the old time. Enjoy reading.

Yeah, and the Bible is a lie.

1. The word "dinosaur" is modern; it is not a biblical word. There are other creatures in the Bible that were called by other names that could have been dinosaurs.

2. There are lots of animals that are not named in the Bible; that doesn't mean that they didn't exist--it just means that it wasn't necessary to list them all in the Bible. "Cats" aren't in the Bible either but that doesn't mean they didn't exist.

3. The Bible talks about everything that happened that God considered relevant and important to His revelation to us. It would be impossible to put everything that happened to everyone at every minute thru history into one book. God gave us as much as we need to know for our salvation and holy living.

Cats are mentioned in Egyptian history, which is about as old as the Bible.

Well, Egyptian history mentions multiple gods... but Christians say they're wrong. Well, the Bible mentions God... but that could be wrong too.

The "theory" part of evolution is that we are not yet able to prove how every single organism evolved - life is too complex, and we learn new things every day. Serious biologists do not even debate that there is evolution, and frankly, they do not understand why we all still debate it.

For an academic article about why evolution is a FACT and a THEORY:

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html

The Bible does not make one mention of The Phillipine Islands, yet we all accept that they exist.

Scientifically speaking, Dinosaurs do not appear to have existed on Earth at the same time as man. The Old Testament, especially Genesis, is an attempt by ancient Jews to tell their own history in the best way they could. It was carried down form person to person for centuries before any of it was written.

Acknowleging the Bible could be an imperfect story about people's experience with God does not undermine the truths it contains. When YOU have an experience with God - is is a fact that you acknowlege - a truth that God seems to write on your heart. Needing anything to "back you up" seems contrary to faith. God exists in my life whether or not his existence can be proven, and acknowleging what we DO know about the world around us - how God's glorious creation has unfolded for us in new way every day - does not take away from what God is.

Evolution is remained as theory .. no such rock-hard fact backs them up yet. Even though we are entering the information age .. the so-called evolution is still a theory .. rather a very weak theory. Don't be confused here by them.

Creation still rules!

And... my statement remains the same... "Where were the dinosaurs in the Bible!?"

That's proof that the Bible is made-up.

That's just a cold comment, but that's your opinion, anyway.

As for this thread, really, it's hard to describe, period. I don't believe in evolution but I believe in the dinosaurs but still it's hard to describe.

Some Creation scientists interpreted "Reptiles" as dinosaurs and claimed that reptitle means is dinosaurs.

I personally don't beleive that dinosaurs were existed during Eve & Adam's creation.

I do beleive that dinosaur's existence but not around during Eve & Adam's time.

You should take a look at your own post where Angel just linked to us.

As you add up all of the dates, and accepting that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to Earth almost 2,000 years ago, we come to the conclusion that the creation of the Earth and animals (including the dinosaurs) occurred only thousands of years ago (perhaps only six thousand years!), not millions of years. Thus, if the Bible is right (and it is!), dinosaurs must have lived within the past thousands of years.
